Rad Power Bikes, renowned for its innovation and leadership in the electric bike market, unveiled a groundbreaking new lineup this month. Among the new models are the refreshed RadWagon, the company’s top-selling electric cargo bike, and the RadExpand, its popular folding bike. Joining them are two brand-new models: the Radster Road and Radster Trail. Each bike features state-of-the-art batteries with thermal-resistant technology, designed to prevent malfunctions and fire.
Revolutionary Safe Shield Battery
Rad Power Bikes’ commitment to safety is exemplified by the introduction of the Safe Shield Battery. Developed to address concerns surrounding battery safety, this innovative technology incorporates thermal-resistant features and potted electronics construction. With a capacity of 720Wh, the Safe Shield Battery not only ensures enhanced safety but also delivers extended range, providing riders with peace of mind on their journeys.
Introducing the Radster Family
At the forefront of Rad Power Bikes’ latest lineup are the Radster Road and Radster Trail models, designed to cater to diverse riding preferences. Priced at $1999, the Radster series introduces a torque sensor and is positioned as a potential replacement for the RadCity model. The Radster Trail stands out with wider 3-inch tires tailored for adventurous off-road excursions, while the Radster Road boasts a sleek design with 2.2-inch tires perfect for urban commuting. Both versions feature cutting-edge amenities such as color LCD displays with USB-C charging ports, rear turn signals, hydraulic disc brakes, and the groundbreaking Safe Shield Battery.
Additionally, these ebikes come with Class 3 capabilities, allowing riders to unlock higher speed settings of up to 28 mph on pedal assist, ushering in a new era of high-speed biking. The Radster Trail also comes with mudguards for added protection, distinguishing it from its counterpart.
Rad Expand 5 Plus: Elevated Performance
Building upon its legacy of excellence, Rad Power Bikes introduces the Rad Expand 5 Plus, an upgraded version of its popular folding model. One of the key highlights of the Rad Expand 5 Plus is its torque sensor, providing riders with precise and responsive pedal assistance for a smooth and efficient ride. Additionally, the ebike features the new Safe Shield Battery, offering enhanced safety and peace of mind with its thermal-resistant technology. With a larger battery capacity of 720 Wh compared to its predecessor’s 672 Wh, riders can enjoy extended range and longer adventures without worrying about battery life.
The Rad Expand 5 Plus also boasts increased weight capacity, now capable of carrying up to 315 lb compared to the legacy RadExpand’s 275 lb capacity. This improved capacity ensures that riders can comfortably transport heavier loads or carry additional cargo with ease. Furthermore, with features like a hydraulic suspension fork and IPX6 weather resistance, the Rad Expand 5 Plus delivers unmatched performance and durability, making it the perfect choice for riders looking for a versatile and reliable ebike.
The New RadWagon 5: Redefining Cargo Biking
Rounding out the lineup is the RadWagon 5, Rad Power Bikes’ latest cargo bike iteration. With its updated design and innovative features, the RadWagon 5 sets a new standard in versatility and performance. Boasting a redesigned frame with a lower center of gravity, which has been a big drawback of the Radwagon versus cargo bikes like the Tern GSD, Aventon Abound, this ebike offers improved handling and stability, ensuring a smoother & more controlled ride through city streets or rugged terrain. Alongside its torque sensor pedal assist system, riders can experience enhanced control and efficiency, making every journey effortless and enjoyable.
With a cargo capacity of up to 375 lb, the RadWagon 5 is equipped to handle heavy loads with ease, whether it’s transporting passengers or hauling groceries. The addition of turn signals further enhances safety, ensuring that riders can communicate their intentions clearly to other road users.
